    A better analogy might be: if a clerical worker in a hospital goes into your room and notices that the heart-lung machine to which you are connected is running, but doesn't understand that if IT stops, then YOU will stop shortly thereafter, and unplugs it anyway to save electricity, are you saying that though it was an honest mistake, that he should not be charged with murder? In this case, ignorance of the law - or the purpose of the affected equipment - is no excuse.

    Actually, I would bet that person would not be charged with murder. Probably more like reckless manslaughter.

    The guy took actions based on an incomplete understanding of the situation - we all have to do it every day (or we'd never get out of the door), he just managed to 'perfect storm' it. Worse, he did it with good (if slightly pious/snarky) intent - save the state taxpayers some money and reduce polution.

    It was demonstrably not a malicious act, so sacking/flaying/electrocution/laser sharks is disproportionate and would lead to employment tribunals/having to clean up after the sharks, costing even more money and frankly likely to find in his favour. Gross misconduct would be a tough one to call. If he really did resign, isn't that the gentlest way out for everyone to save face and not land the taxpayer with even higher costs next year?

    I would certainly had written him up for a final warning however as the company I work for has done before - the person involved had no authorisation to access that area, and obtaining a pass with the appropriate rights from somewhere else is regarded as theft. It doesn't matter if it was on a table in plain sight, he knew he himself didn't have access, and so accessing that area using someone elses card is unauthorised access.

    Hell, where I work they gave someone a "first and final warning" because he tried his access card on too many doors which he (apparently) knew didn't have access.

    Ok, lets extend this analogy a bit.

    If you get into a traffic accident, do you have to pay the cops salaries while they're handling your case? Repay for the light standard you knocked over, plus the salaries of the city employees to put the standard back up? The traffic court bailiff's salary?

    This is all what you pay taxes for. People make mistakes. This person made a dumb mistake, and paid the appropriate price (either resigned, or was given a push). Sometimes that means public servants have to clean up the mistake. The only difference in this case was, it was the public servant that CAUSED the mistake.

    Almost but not quite there. In fact, quite a long way off.

    Your insurance would normally cover material damage, but if your policy doesn't cover it, you're liable for payment.

    Aside from that, you can be charged with causing criminal damage that was the result of a road traffic accident.

    And as a footnote to your "paid the appropriate price", that's "appropriate" as in what's considered appropriate by civil and criminal courts, as agreed upon by democratically elected officials. Individuals may disagree with what's appropriate; in fact, most people will, because a democracy is a compromise so that we can all get along socially. This is something libertarians and republican'ts don't get (respectively: you can't live unilaterally by your own fantasy rules, and you can't make everyone else live by your fantasy rules).

    Right, because if you screw up, you should have the pension you paid into for years taken away from you, and have to die penniless under a bridge.

    I think you mean the pension that I and all the other taxpayers paid into, so yes.
    Nope, the amount of pension he receives is proportional to the amount he has paid himself.

    His money has been used to pay the pension of the generation before him and logically your money will be used to pay him, but this doesn't mean that you have paid into his pension. He has saved for it himself.

    When you go to the bank, do you check the serial numbers on the bills to make sure you withdraw "your" money and not somebody elses?

  • Keith (unregistered)

    Okay, so let's throw down a couple of hypothetical situation, shall we?

    I am a contractor (call it Lockheed, whatever) who builds tanks. I build tanks for 12 years, giving a healthy whatever-I-can-get-matched into my 401K. One day I come into work and notice that the A/C unit is on for some room and turn it off.

    I am a state worker (call it Florida) who manages taxpeople. I have worked my way up over the last 12 years into management (six is the minimum required for pension in FL), paying my amount into my pension (non-optional). One day I come into work and notice that the A/C unit is on for some room and turn it off.

    Both of these people get retire for political reasons (essentially) shortly therafter. 1 - Should the contractor get to keep his 401K? 2 - Should the government person get to keep his pension?

    It is illegal to take the 401K from the contractor. It is illegal to take the pension of the government employee.

    If they were fired, it would be a different story, like this: The contractor gets to keep his 401K. The government person MIGHT get to keep his pension (depending on reason for firing, type of offense, and quality of lawyers).

    When you think about it, the government people already are getting a pretty lousy deal (non-optional, non-managed pension, which may or may not be inflation-adjusted, and which may be taken from them). The only compensation for that is the high-3 (which is federal only, as far as I know), or other scaling benefit.

    This reminds me of a "helpful person" who locked my unlocked car - my keys broke of in a lock - when I was away getting a 2nd set of keys. At 23 in the night. In a rural setting. A save rural setting, where people are known not to lock their front days.

    No, he shouldn't be charged with murder, because he wasn't intending to kill someone. Murder requires intent. Killing somebody accidentally is criminally negligent manslaughter, and the penalty significantly less severe than that for murder, for just that reason.

    So, your analogy is pretty good, but the interpretation leaves something to be desired...

    The only thing still called Great Britain is just a geographic region - the Island of Great Britain.

    1.) 'Triple' redundant systems being accessed within the same room...presumably that means all running off the same main power line. If you're installing triple redundancy at least one should physically separate. 2.) triple 'redundant' AC systems that are "running the entire time I was here" If the backups are indeed redundant rather than just simply additional they should not be running "the entire time"

    This makes me think they didn't actually have redundant systems. They had 1 system that comprised of three separate AC units. Calling this a triple redundant system is akin to saying my 6-cylinder car engine has 5 redundant cylinders.

    Here's the thing - if one of those AC units is capable of removing enough heat from the room on its own, then running additional units will just make it work less, as they will share the load (plus possibly some extra waste energy from the machines). However, if one fails, the load will be redistributed among the rest and the room will stay cool.

    However, there is an easy way to achieve true redundancy as you suggested - set the thermostats on the additional ACs to a slightly higher temperature. That way, they won't run their compressors unless the room starts getting warmer, which would happen if the first one failed. They could be rotated regularly so that each one takes a turn in being the primary cooler, to keep the compressor seals lubricated etc.

    Regarding a car engine, each cylinder contributes to the work and gives the engine a higher torque and power output than a single cylinder would provide, as well as making the torque application smoother. Even though they're not redundant, if one fails, you may still be able to drive the car in an emergency (depending on the cause) to get it home or to a workshop or another suitable place, where the problem can be addressed.

    Indeed you should, yes - and it's arguable that he did: he "took early retirement", i.e. (with a little reading between the lines) was kicked out of his job.

    It might well be arguable that simply losing the job is not enough of a penalty in this case, that it is not "appropriate consequences" - but it's also arguable that it is. You and others seem to hold that it is not, and you might be right - but I don't think I've seen any arguments put forward so far which would support that position over the other, and I have seen a couple of things which look like arguments in support of the other position.

  • (cs)

    I remember this story from before it was originally put on TDWTF (from the original authors livejournal iirc). I am fairly certain that it was a private company and nothing to do with the government. There were no tax servers, the employee responsible was female not male (not that it makes much difference, but why change it?).

    The original post was apparently deleted when the author got fed up with people crying BS but I've manged to pull up a copy of it and the dead servers were: "Exchange Server, Domain Controllers, a few Sun boxes that I'm not sure of the usage.". The culprit was coming in for a "meeting with a potential client tomorrow", not 'The State'.

    The author gave a lot of extra (and fairly convincing) information on why security was a bit lax and there were no automatic alerts (from memory the facility was in the process of being moved and was very much a temporary setup).

    Also the email was successfully sent before the exchange server died as the guy picked it up before going in on tuesday morning. Truth, consistancy and accuracy? Who needs it?

Even though they're not redundant, if one fails, you may still be able to drive the car in an emergency (depending on the cause) to get it home or to a workshop or another suitable place, where the problem can be addressed.

    My point was that if you have 3 units and one of them fails you are left with 2/3 of the cooling power as before which may not be enough to meet your needs.

    Now you're completely right about the benefit of such a system over an all or nothing system however it is not anywhere near an accurate statement to say that such a system in redundant.

    Given that the email stated all three were running the entire time it would seem to imply that they needed all 3 to keep the room cool. To go to the engine analogy, when you lose a cylinder you could certainly continue driving to soccer practice, however if you're required to drive at maximum speeds (such as a race car) losing a cylinder means not being able to perform.

    Either way I don't think that's part of the WTF. That's a simple low cost solution for (limited) recovery as opposed to a single unit. Single big unit fails over the weekend = fried hardware. One of three smaller units fails over the weekend = the room is above ideal or warm, but not at the point of failure.

  • Falcon (unregistered) in reply to Hatterson

    As I said, maybe one unit does have enough capacity to cool the room, in which case the other two would simply reduce its workload, with some extra waste energy as no machine is perfect.

    Since either scenario is valid and the story doesn't contain enough detail to reliably determine how their cooling system was running, we can only speculate.
